How to get 2 columns in the Advanced Search form in Alfresco 5 community?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I am trying to have my search options listed in two or three columns in the advanced search menu with custom fields. The following does work for a single column layout. The two commented lines are what I believe should modify the form to be two columns after following the directions here: Providing a custom form template | Alfresco Documentation 

When I restart the server and open the advanced search I only have the keyword search field.

I am new to Alfresco I pieced all off this together from other posts. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Just look at another section of the documentation you have linked: Grouping fields
